The Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame has just published it's Definitive 200 albums of all time. Yesterday, I posted the first 100 album artists and titles.
Again, some of the choices are obviously good ones. Others, like Dixie Chicks, Tool, Jay-Z and Outkast are questionable (to put it politely). I jokingly said that I suspect some of the HoF staff is on crack yesterday. Of course, that wasn't a serious comment -- though it could be a fair assumption when reading some of the choices -- along with being tone deaf AND not knowing talent from non-talent.
Anyway, here is the remainder of the list -- numbers 101 - 200 (renumbered by my software, dangit).
